Donuel,
Kendall published a book of Maine stories years ago called Stories Told In The Kitchen. It came from a TV Series he did on PBS in Maine by the same name. Hysterically funny stuff with a guest humorist every week. They sat at a table with tea and biscuits and let it happen.
You can find the book on ebay. Kendall will autograph it if you ask.

I have been reading a website about humor. It is written by a psychologist investigating what, why, how, ect we laugh or don't.
He has an entire page of Helen Keller Jokes. I will post the link tonight.

He states what Smokey so elegantly posted above. Helen Keller is not the butt of the jokes; the humor lies in the unexpected and the outrageous.
